Copper Mining

ok, so I’m writing this essay on Copper mining, and wondered if anyone could help.

a) what does a copper mining company need to consider when shutting it’s mine down? b) how will it effect the environment and the people around, as well as the local economy?

Thanks guys :)

Answer #1

a) It needs to consider the ore that has been stockpiled in the time they were open. They would have to process the stockpiled ore before being ‘shut down’.

b) Over and over, hardrock mines have brought quick riches to Western communities, only to leave them with lasting environmental and economic problems when the vein plays out or metal prices plunge. Mines often employ local people to work, and when they shutdown, entire communities will suffer from unemployment (effects on people and economy).

Answer #2

thank you so much :]
